Darn, editing this video has made us hungry (again)... We hope you enjoyed our Xi'an street food tour! What's the best street food you've ever had? We'd love to know :) don't forget to subscribe for more China vlog videos coming really soon. See you in the next one?
@@leekimwah oh really? That's so cool. I'm curious if we would be able to find them in Brussels as well. There aren't that many Chinese restaurants. London has a great food scene. Some of the best Indian food I've had.
I love that you went all over China using public transportation! We were there a few years ago with a tour and it was frustrating because we never had enough time doing the the things we enjoyed and we were dragged to a lot of government-run souvenir shops. I want to go back and see Xi'an and some of the other cities you visited. I'm even more intrigued after seeing your street food tasting.
@@NaickKim The Xi'an food ranking is not even among the top eight cuisines in China's provinces，it is best not to say that Xi'an food is the best Chinese food, which will really cause a civil war in a Chinese province. Hahaha.....
Naick & Kim we used to have civil war between eating fresh tofu sweet or salty, have sticky rice Big with meat fillings or sweet dry fruit or bean paste filling, there is another fight about if five nuts filling mooncake a dark food. It’s like a civil cyber war but in the end it more like people taking pride in their own food culture and sale of all food involved have a huge increase in sale in the time period, since they are all tasty anyway. But yeah, we do take that unseriously serious.🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈Hope you guys enjoy your trip in China. 😇😇😇
Xian Great shots of the Muslim quarter .. is Datong too far to go into the "real" China yungang grotto is amazing even if it's a big industrial workhorse of a city Suzhou .. Hangzhou .. the lake is great for cycling around .. if it's good enough for Marco Polo allegedly .. Most importantly Enjoy the trip It's great for the pair of you to have a record of t he trip ENJOY
In Shanghai .. in the yuyuan market step back 100 metres or so around its perimeter .. there's some great pottery shops etc there .. The bund of course is good .. but don't leave Shanghai without using the "carriage" under the river on the bund ... A few euros total .. it's so bad it's good .. about 5 minutes of your life you won't forget .. strobe lights lasers etc Is kite flying still popular there ??
haha, we read that it is indeed the most complicated one. I wonder how you remember all those characters. Is there a relation to the character and the meaning of it?
@@NaickKim Actually we can categorise Chinese characters into two types: the original and the assembled. (maybe I am using the wrong terminology as I am just a mathematician, not a professional Mandarin teacher) The original characters are basically just a picture of its meaning, e.g. 鸟 meaning bird looks like a bird. The assembled characters are composed of several original characters or their major component to indicate the combined meaning, e.g. 林 means forest consists of two 木 (means wood) The daily used characters are around just three thousand and normally people can get to used to them in approx. one year or so.
Oh really? An article we read online about Xi'an food said this was jinggao 🤔 aha green bean cake, that's interesting to put into a dessert 😊 thanks for the info 👌🏻😉
There are too many unique foods in China. Even many Chinese have never eaten. Guangdong Province alone is enough for a year. There are more than one hundred chickens. Fortunately, Chinese people are not easy to get fat.
As a native, I am not a fan of the desserts either, except the Zenggao, or Jinggao in local dialect. It is also rice and dates but no rose paste. These things always make people full and you are not supposed to enjoy that when you've already had a lot. By the way, the Muslim Quarter is a bit too commercialized nowadays and the food is not always good, but it seems that you really did a lot of research and were able to find the right ones. And I believe the unknown sweets you had are actually made from green bean paste, and of course a lot of sugar. The best part of Xi'an is its history, you really should explore the museums, like Beilin and Shaanxi History Museum. Interesting vlogs and enjoy your days in China!
Thanks a lot Geng Liu! Do you live in Xi'an? Yes we did a lot of research on the best places. A blogger called the foodranger has good information on where to eat. Most of the places were really very busy with locals. So it had to be good haha. Thanks for the info on the sweets! We did find some good desserts in Chongqing, but they were more western style.
@@NaickKim I used to live in Xi'an, that is the capital city of my home province. But now I am based in NYC. Foodranger is also one of my favorite vloggers. You wouldn't go wrong if you follow his suggestions for food, especially in Szechuan and Chongqing. Looking forward to your updates!
Try this guide. www.thefoodranger.com/xian-famous-foods-you-need-to-try/ We also highly recommend the Suantang Jiaozi Sour and Spicy Dumplings 酸汤饺子 The Biang Biang place is called LIU LAOSI NIUROU GAN MIAN ZHUANG 刘老四牛肉擀面庄 You can find the directions on the website above. Just try all the dishes on the list. You will not be dissapointed ;)
Naick & Kim Thanks I’m going to watch the rest of your Shanghai videos. I went last year and miss it sooo much. Their dumplings are the best and to just stop in to a Yangs ahhhh cannot wait for November!
@@NaickKim Beef pita soup("Paomo"), fry beef with vinegar and hot sauce first then add pita. Only a little soup and tastes spicy and sour, quite different cooking method compared to mutton one.
zh.m.wikipedia.org/zh-sg/Bi%C3%A1ngbi%C3%A1ng%E9%9D%A2 The word is too difficult and rare, so it is unable to type out on computers or handphone. Wikipedia and Baidu all present the word in picture format.
most of the food were actually beef, not lamm😅😅the unknown green food is made of one type of green bean. Jin Gao is actually called HuangJinGao, HuangJin means gold, coz the food is in gold color.
@@NaickKim Chinese students also learn english since grade 3 about 11 years old. but Chinese not usually use it in normal time. now I'm 22 years old, I usually use english to talk with my foreign gf

Best streets food is not in xian, best is in shanghai, han people food is much better taste
The street food in Shanghai is indeed very good. But sadly it is disappearing more and more nowadays.
@@NaickKim It's not disappearing. It's hiden in community. And Shanghai street food are not so famous.
To be fully honest, as a Chinese I do not know how to write that character... It has ... way too many components...
haha, we read that it is indeed the most complicated one. I wonder how you remember all those characters. Is there a relation to the character and the meaning of it?
@@NaickKim Actually we can categorise Chinese characters into two types: the original and the assembled. (maybe I am using the wrong terminology as I am just a mathematician, not a professional Mandarin

So xiang. Lol
We loved Xi'an!
xi ,an musilin has 1000y over history .
Yes Xi'an is such a great place.
keep you safely . and have a good day.
Must say the food muslim street is bad. Don't go there.
The food there is goood 😳 why don't you like it? 😊
@@NaickKim There are better places for noodle, pao mo, and other foods. The muslim on that street aggresively drove other Han restaraunts out.
you two guys so enjoy the trip i hope myself too will visit china explore this incredible country
Thanks a lot! When are you planning on going?
this is my hometown, wish you have a good time.

西安喇叭声音太吵了，成都这方面不错。
我本科在交大，想念西安，哈哈
欢迎来西安玩！除了回民街那边，还可以去东新街那边，那边吃的也很不错哦！
my mouth is watering.
Ours is too everytime we think about it! What's your favourite food in China? More food coming soon haha.
Ah the biang biang noodles... Miss those already! best Chinese street food so far was definitely in Xi'an :)
For sure! I would go back for the street food alone.
卤汁凉粉你也能找到，服气你了。

羊肉泡馍， this is my favor。everyone time I must transfer from xi”an when Departure from Beijing to Melbourne, just for eating this bowl. OMG, can’t sleep.
the biang biang mian? One of our favourite dishes too!
haha, I think he wanna say Yangroupaomo that the food you ate at the beginning.
Maybe you can try lamb noodle of Henan,When you two come Henan province。That‘s noodle come from。sorry，My English is very poor.
Your English is fine, we understand you. Next time we will try the lamb noodle!
Quite hilarious when you two fight for the BiangBiang noodle.
Yeah, after we turned off the camera it got ugly and Naick walked away with a black eye 🤣😉 good thing he has big eyebrows to cover it up 😋
Glad to see Kim eating well & not wasting away )
If I don't feed her every few hours, she becomes hangry ;)
@@NaickKim feed her and send her to learn Chinese since she has the talent.
The spice sauces in the north part of China are more tasty than spicy, in the south part, they are really spicy, it burns.
Yes in Chongqing and Yunnan they are really spicy!
The last toffee like thing is mungbean cake, you should drink some tea while tasting it cause it’s actually really dry.
Yes it was super dry haha. Next time we try it with some cake!
wow one of my to do list before I die visit XIAN!!
You should. I'm hungry now and the memory of this place is too much haha.
ok, I just finished my lunch 2 mins ago and I am hungry now
Haha I know the feeling! I can't edit any of these food videos without getting hungry, even if I just ate 😅 thanks for watching!
9:50 that is not jinggao, that is Osmanthus fragrans cake. 10:45 that is green bean cake, btw anther one is walnut .
Oh really? An article we read online about Xi'an food said this was jinggao 🤔 aha green bean cake, that's interesting to put into a dessert 😊 thanks for the info 👌🏻😉
@@NaickKim lol jinggao is like this. hope you have a great trip.

@@NaickKim jinggao is the sticky rice one with date paste, mostly for breakfast.
Thanks the food in china is so good great place.
welcome to China
Thank you!

Even many Chinese have never eaten. Guangdong Province alone is enough for a year. There are more than one hundred chickens. Fortunately, Chinese people are not easy to get fat.
We indeed noticed that Chinese people are pretty slim overall. Which is a miracle if you have food this good 😁
Cars need to tone down that unnecessary honking while people can enjoy their food more
Haha the streets there are pretty packed though, it's probably a safety measure ;) and you get used to it pretty fast
noddles..rice noddles....beef...lamb....so nice ....pita in the soup of lamb....
Yes, soooooo good!
Looks delicious 😋
I was just telling Naick today how this street food in Xi'an was probably my favourite I have ever had so far 😭😍
GOOD!!!!! GREAT!!!!!
